Chapter 541 Eavesdropping on a Conversation

odded."Don’t let others take advantage of you." Wang Zheng joked."Do you think everyone is as lecherous as you" Sheng Fei rolled her eyes at Wang Zheng, and couldn't help but recall the time when Wang...Chapter 541 Eavesdropping on a Conversation

Thinking about this, Ningxia was truly impressed by Wang Zheng. She believed that no one could remain calm in the face of such great interests; after all, no one would complain about having too much money.

"How is it Are you starting to be enchanted by me now" Wang Zheng looked at Ningxia's eyes and said: "Are you beginning to find me a bit charming"

"Indeed, very charming." Ningxia also lightly teased him. Wang Zheng couldn't verify the truth of her words, but naturally he hoped it was true.

"By the way, are your wages always paid on time" Wang Zheng knew that when making Ningxia work for him, he shouldn’t shortchange her either. He had instructed Jiang Yiping to pay Ningxia monthly as a compensation for being in charge of this school during its initial phase; she bore quite a heavy responsibility.

"Yes, but it's too much," Ningxia said somewhat embarrassedly: "Eight thousand yuan is transferred into my account every tenth day of the month, and there are performance bonuses at the end of each quarter. It’s really too much."

With a monthly salary of eight thousand yuan, in Pizhou where average income was lower, she could be considered a high-income earner; naturally, Ningxia wasn't used to such high wages and felt they were excessive.

"Output and income are directly proportional. If you're talking about Beijing, this amount would still be on the low side," Wang Zheng said with a smile: "I rarely visit here. How about treating me to dinner tonight"

"Sure, what do you want to eat" Ningxia asked: "You’re my boss; I should treat you well."

Under the setting sun's glow, Ningxia’s smile was exceptionally enchanting, like a beautiful flower blooming in full splendor.

With this kind and lovely girl by his side, Wang Zheng always felt at ease and refreshed. Ningxia was like a gentle breeze that swept across people's hearts, bringing refreshing clarity.

Wang Zheng didn't know if there were any girls like Ningxia in this world, but since he had encountered her, he didn't want to miss out.

There are some things and some people that one would regret missing for the rest of their life.

"You should eat quickly. Why aren’t you eating" Ningxia said, looking at Wang Zheng who was smiling foolishly across from her.

The two had come to a Korean-style all-you-can-eat barbecue restaurant. However, since they arrived, Wang Zheng had been in charge of grilling and feeding Ningxia. He had barely touched his chopsticks himself, so after finishing their meal, he probably wouldn't be able to give an opinion on the taste of the food.

"Is there a flower blooming on my face" Ningxia felt somewhat embarrassed under Wang Zheng's gaze and her pretty face turned slightly red as she lowered her head to take a small bite of the grilled meat.

"No flowers, but more beautiful than any flower," Wang Zheng said with a smile.

Ningxia’s pretty face blushed even more. She felt somewhat uncomfortable being stared at from head to toe by Wang Zheng like this.

“Hey, Big Brother,” At that moment, Wang Zheng lifted his head and saw Ningxia's brother, Ning Yuan, walking over with a woman. The woman was rather pretty but had a slender face; however, there was a hint of worry and melancholy between her brows.

The two people sat directly behind Ningxia without noticing the duo in front.

Ningxia wanted to call out, but Wang Zheng stopped her. He then whispered: "They look somewhat unhappy. Let's listen to what they are talking about."

"Unhappy Eavesdropping sounds like a good idea," Ningxia suddenly understood and said in a very small voice, looking quite adorable.

Girls are always nosy, even when it comes to their own older brother.

"Eavesdropping is more fun." Wang Zheng said with a smile.

"Eat a bit more today," Ning Yuan, who rarely had to work overtime, picked up pieces of grilled meat from the plate and placed them on the grill. The meat started sizzling as it began to release oil.

Ning Yuan's fiancée is named Tian Jing; she works as a school teacher. She's almost thirty years old now. However, in a small county like Pei Zhou, this age already makes her an older unmarried woman—some of her peers with the same age have kids who are already attending kindergarten.

Tian Jing sighed softly: "I don't feel like eating."

"What's wrong You seem to be in low spirits today," Ning Yuan asked blankly, puzzled. He usually buried himself in work and was not very talkative; he didn't know how to comfort her when she acted this way.

Wang Zheng almost choked at what he heard. From the first time he saw Tian Jing, he had noticed her unhappiness. Yet Ning Yuan only now realized it—really, Ning Xia still said that he used to be the top student in school and nearly got into a university in Beijing. How could he then be so clueless when it came to relationships

"What's going on" asked Ning Yuan. "If you're unhappy about something, you should tell me."

"You don't know why I'm unhappy" Tian Jing looked at Ning Yuan with a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

Women often believe that their partner can guess why they are unhappy, but the reality is that there's such a huge difference between men and women's thinking. When facing an angry woman, most men are clueless—truly frustrating.

Men always think: "If you don't tell me, how am I supposed to know"

Women, on the other hand, think: "You are my man; you should know my thoughts. You should understand what makes me happy or sad and what kind of feelings I want. If you can't even figure out such simple things, do you deserve to be my man"

In a relationship, something that seems straightforward to women is often as difficult for men as climbing to the heavens; they would rather run five kilometers in scorching heat and sweat profusely than face this big challenge.

Therefore, it's an endless cycle of misunderstandings.

Ning Yuan honestly said: "If you're unhappy, tell me. How should I know if you don't say anything"

Tian Jing’s expression was filled with disappointment: "I thought you would know, but you never seem to understand what I'm thinking."

Hearing this, Wang Zheng also didn’t show any dislike for Tian Jing. He understood that women in love are mostly like this; they can't control themselves, so men should be more understanding and consider it as a form of pampering.

"I really don't know what you're thinking. You have to tell me," Ning Yuan was getting increasingly helpless.

"Isn’t it about my mother again" Tian Jing picked up her cup, took a sip of water, and sighed heavily, her face filled with melancholy.

“What did auntie say this time” Since they weren't married yet, Ning Yuan didn’t address her as mother-in-law.

Mentioning his mother-in-law made Ning Yuan very headache-inducing. Some people said that housing prices in China were driven up by mothers-in-law, and there was some truth to it.

Tian Jing’s mother was a typical woman who favored the wealthy; she had once stated that if Ning Yuan didn't have an apartment, she would never allow Tian Jing to marry him. Every time Ning Yuan visited her home for dinner, this woman incessantly talked about how so-and-so's child bought a car or received tens of thousands in dowry when their daughter got married.heng's expression and couldn't help but laugh."What are you laughing at" Wang Zheng felt that his behavior just now was somewhat inappropriate and embarrassing. He said with ill grace."Little brother,...
